From the recording A Life Lived Well
Lyrics
Life Lived Well
Gary Johnson 9/9/2026
[Verse 1]
Of a life lived blessed and full
I have had all that I've needed
Much more than I deserve
There is still so much more
To do while I'm still here
To finish the race strong
To hear well done, my son
[Chorus]
When hope once strong and certain
Starts to slip away
Doubt clouds my vision
Everything seems gray
I try to view the future
Just like Paul said
For me to live is Christ
And to die is gain
[Verse 2]
I hear about folks passing
Almost every day
I count the years behind me
What's left is hard to say
I always counted on the future
As if I was in control
But now that perspective
Just does not seem to hold
[Verse 3]
I think about my family
I know they will be just fine
My wife, kids and the grandkids
I am proud to say they're mine
But while I am still with them
Whatever days I have left
I will make sure not to squander
Make all the days the best
